How many Obama bundlers are gay?

About one in six of Obama’s top campaign “bundlers” are gay, according to a Washington Post review of donor lists...

What's the Post's methodology? "Just counting," Eggen told to me, and added, "I did not engage in any guesswork."

Eggen said the list is made up of bundlers who have raised at least $500,000, some of whom "are very open and are well-known activists in the LGBT community." Last October, Advocate.com ran their own tally and found that "members of the LGBT community" accounted for nearly one in five bundlers above the $500k mark, though Eggen rightly notes that the overall pool of bundlers was smaller at that time, hence the change.
